Cube

Ekoï

Sponsor of the Cross-Mountain and the Cross-Mountain Electric

Cycling Different: the brand slogan!

There is an easily identifiable EKOI style which leads some to say there is EKOI everywhere, but more and more, the brand enables users to conceive their own designs using the configurators on the EKOI website.

The first glasses configurator in 2013 was a real success (followed by the configurator for compression sleeves).

One year later, EKOI created the first helmet configurator in the world. In 2015, the shoe and textile configurators completed this offer that’s unmatched anywhere in the world:

EKOI is the only brand to offer cyclists personalised equipment from head to foot.

Haibike

Sponsor of the Enduro and the Enduro Electric

Performance, that electrifies – is the Haibike creed. We have been producing bikes since 1995 for all types of riders – from beginner’s bikes to high end steeds for racers, from road to mountain. Haibike became a global brand during Eurobike 2010 with the first Haibike eMTB, the XDURO. We have since been considered the pioneer in ePerformance and are known for our innovations in this new discipline.

SRSuntour

Sponsor of the SRSuntour Damping Test Track

In MTB, just as in Formula 1. Changing steed, trying a new bike, even for an hour, is always a thrill for mountain bikers, whether pro or amateur. It’s true that pros get to change more often, but at the VV Festival it’s your turn, you can test as much as you want! The exhibitors are there to fine tune material and offer tests of the latest products. SR Suntour goes even further with tests at VVF. We have an enduro bike equipped with a data system, the Damping Test Track. The objective of this? On an enduro test track we can retrieve all information concerning fork and shock action. The engineers can visualise wheel speeds, shock action and fork action to get specific fine tuning details for each rider. All this data enables us to understand the importance of tuning, and what that brings in terms of comfort, adherence, speed, performance...

Attention, this is only available to festival goers with Pass Premiums and there is a limited number of places!

From the summit of the domain, let your bike lead you down almost 600 metres of descent on one of the 6 groomed and signed trails: from an accessible green, to some very technical reds, there’s a wide variety of downhill biking.

In constant evolution, our improvements over the last few years have increased accessibility and security on the 6 DH trails, to ensure each is adapted to the level of rider for which it is intended. Come to the top of the lift, at 1800 metres high, to find the best that the Vercors offers riders: steep passages in alpine prairies, technical rocky sections, and more flowing trails in the forest.
